How Gold Works in Fellowship (Fast Primer) 🧠

• Gold sinks: respeccing, empowerment catalysts, enchant rerolls, stash tabs, map keys, and boss entry items.
• Gold sources: raw gold (mobs/quests/events), tradables (mats, essences, shards), crafted items, and contracts (repeatable tasks).
• Your goal: convert time → consistent, liquid value. That means farming targets other people always buy: potions, oils, runes, useful enchants, node mats, and upgrade catalysts.

Core Principles to Print More with Less Time ⏳

• Farm what sells daily. If it’s needed for potions, enchants, or plates, it moves fast.
• Hit breakpoints, not fantasies. Use 2-stat gear and cheap enchants until you farm comfortably.
• Run a tight loop. Avoid long travel or slow respawns. You want density + uptime.
• Post twice a day. One batch when you start, one before you log. Capture two markets.
• Spend to earn. Oils/food that increase clear speed pay for themselves quickly.

Best Early-Game Gold (Leveling → Pre-Endgame) 🌱

1) Event Clusters: open-world events with waves (kiting-friendly) drop raw gold + tradables.

2) Story Contracts: quick objectives that scale with level; great while leveling professions.

3) Beginner Dungeons (Low Keys): spam the shortest layout; salvage everything; sell essences.

4) Herb & Ore Circuits: easy money while queueing; feeds Alchemy/Smithing or sells as raw mats.

5) Treasure Nodes: time-limited spawns—pair with a route so you’re never idle.

Starter 45-min loop: queue → do herb/ore lap → hop into quick dungeon → salvage → list mats → repeat.

Midgame Strategies – Reliable Income Loops 💼

Contracts (Blue tier): super consistent; prefer “kill X elites” and “deliver Y mats.”

Targeted Dungeons: choose layouts with linear pulls and short backtracking; disassemble all non-upgrades.

Elite Hunt Patrols: patrols that chain into mini-bosses—burst windows = gold per minute.

Alchemy/Enchant Stocking: brew/roll while traveling; post Haste/Power Oils, Cleanse, Barrier, Dash CDR threads.

Market Flips (safe): sell dust/shards during spikes; buy back off-peak to power level Enchanting.

Endgame Gold Engines – High Yield, Minimal Scuff 🔥

Boss Rush Windows: learn two bosses with safe patterns; chain runs during “hot hours”; sell their progression mats and essences.

High-Key Contracts: best gold/hour if your build clears without wipes.

Faction Weeks / Map Affixes: when movement/crit/loot bonuses are active, rotate to the dungeon that benefits your class most.

Craft-to-Order: advertise bundles (e.g., “Raid Night Kit: 20x Haste Oils + Cleanse + Barrier + Whetstones”). Fast turnover, premium margin.

Routes & Rotations – 3 Proven Circuits 🗺️

Ember Quarry Sweep (30–35 min): tight elite packs + ore lines → craft Whetstones or sell ore; great for Guardian/Archer.

Sunless Market Circle (25–30 min): dense humanoids (salvageable) + treasure pockets → enchanting dust jackpot.

River-Granary Run (20–25 min): herb-rich stretch + two event nodes → prioritizes Alchemy mats and raw gold.

Pro tip: If competition spikes, reverse the route and start at the other end to keep uptime.

Solo vs Group – Which Pays More? 👥

• Solo = control: stable gold/hour, safer markets (mats, oils, low-run enchants).
• Duo+ = speed & scaling: faster elite melts, safer high keys, better boss rush uptime.
• Run solo to farm and stock; switch to group when pushing endgame keys or rush windows.

Class Tech – Make Your Kit Print Gold 🛡️🏹🪄

Guardian

• Talents: block leniency → stagger amp → movement glue.
• Farming loop: pull wide → block heavy → Expose call → whetstone refresh.
• Crafts: DR plates + block sigils; clean, wipe-proof income.

Archer

• Talents: dash cadence → crit baseline → crit damage.
• Farming loop: kite arcs, funnel packs, burst on exposes.
• Crafts: movement/leather + Haste/Power Oils; extremely efficient solo farmer.

Battle Mage

• Talents: mana sustain → dash CDR → power.
• Farming loop: primer → delay → detonate when packs stack; keep cleanse for greed pulls.
• Crafts: mana regen cloth + cooldown enchants; converts knowledge into gold.

Professions That Pay (and How) 📈

• Alchemy (S-Tier): Health/Stamina/Mana, Haste/Power Oils, Cleanse, Barrier. Always in demand.
• Enchanting (S-Tier): Dash CDR threads, Block/DR sigils, Crit scions, Power runes. Permanent upgrades = premium.
• Smithing (A): Whetstones, Weapon Plates, Shield Facings, Empower catalysts.
• Leatherworking (A): Stamina/Crit pieces for Archer; movement-weighted belts/boots.
• Tailoring (A): Mana regen cloth, barrier-lined robes, party aura stoles.
• Engineering/Mechanica (B): utility trinkets and pull tools; shines in specific metas.
• Cooking (B): banquet money; good margin in raid evenings.

Flow: farm nodes → craft high-turnover items → list in bundles. Buyers love one-click kits.

Daily Checklist – 60–90 Minutes to Stay Rich 📅

1. Post last night’s backlog (oils, enchants, stones).
2. Quick herb/ore lap while queueing.
3. One fast dungeon (salvage all; keep essences/dust).
4. Brew oils & pots from lap mats.
5. Craft 1–2 enchants people always buy (Dash CDR, Block/DR).
6. Run your best contract (blue/purple) or a boss rush window.
7. Repost everything before logout.

Weekly Add-ons: stash expansion, route refresh, boss practice (2 fights), price notebook update.

Auction House Tactics – Price Memory & Posting Windows 💹

• Post in minis: 5–10 units per stack. Looks buyable; triggers impulse.
• End-of-day premium: last hour before reset or raid night = better prices.
• Undercut smart: match lowest, undercut by 1–2% max; protect your own margin.
• Keep a notebook: median buy/sell for top items (oils, dust, runes). Flip only within a safe band.

Consumables: Spend to Earn 🧪

Use Haste/Power oils, food, and cleanse on farm. If they speed up clears or prevent wipes, they’re net positive. In progression, Barrier pays for itself in saved keys and time.

Avoiding Sinks & Common Mistakes 🚫

• Don’t chase perfects early. Two-stat + right enchants beat a “wrong” perfect.
• Don’t hold dead stock. If an item stalls two days, lower price or pivot.
• Don’t skip Cleanse/Barrier. Wipe prevention = profit.
• Don’t travel empty. Always gather en route.

Settings & UI for Faster Farms 🖥️

• Controller/Keybinds: put dash, potion, and burst on easy inputs.
• Combat text: show Expose/Stagger clearly so you hit burst windows.
• Minimalist interface: widen FOV a notch, reduce clutter; you farm faster when you see danger earlier.

Frequently Asked Questions ❓

Is solo or group better for gold? - Solo for stability, group for speed. Mix both through the week.

What’s the safest starting profession? - Alchemy—cheapest to start, fastest to sell.

When should I swap professions? - After your main is funded and your team has coverage (e.g., you can drop Gathering for Enchanting).

How many items should I post per day? - Two cycles (start/end). Keep oils, stones, and two enchants always stocked.
